All seven volumes in a single file. Profiles of French authors. According to Wikipedia: "François Élie Jules Lemaître (27 April 1853 - 4 August 1914), was a French critic and dramatist. He was born at Vennecy (Loiret). He became a professor at the university of Grenoble, but was already well known for his literary criticism, and in 1884 he resigned his position to devote his time to literature. He succeeded Jean-Jacques Weiss as drama critic of the Journal des Débats, and subsequently filled the same office on the Revue des Deux Mondes. His literary studies were collected under the title of Les Contemporains (7 series, 1886-1899), and his dramatic feuilletons as impressions de théàtre (10 series, 1888-1898). His sketches of modern authors show great insight and unexpected judgment as well as gaiety and originality of expression."
